Answer / sanjeev b
If the AUTO_INCREMENT reaches the maximum value then we
cant insert the rows into that table. If we try to insert
the values it will produce an error saying 'Duplicate
entry 'max value(ex:4294967295)' for key1

Answer / amith
It stops incrementing. It does not overflow to 0 to prevent
data losses, but further inserts are going to produce an
error, since the key has been used already.
